So yeah, as the title says. I run an aging system and I would like to try to OC, but I've just been scared off by all the stuff I need to do (I'm not tech savvy). But lately I've been reading a couple of guides, understanding tiny bits but still unable to digest the whole process of how to, so perhaps some of you guys can help!
[U][B]My setup now is:[/B][/U]
Intel E6750 (2.66ghz - stock everything)
2gb 800mhz ram
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
I don't plan on buying any new coolers or upgrading any parts of the system, so if I aim for about 3.0ghz on stock cooling would that be reasonable?
From what I've read I need to get into my BIOS, change the FSB in small increments, stress test using software, repeat until I hit errors or cpu temps don't get too high. My problem is I don't know anything in between, like:
- Where do I change all the stuff to manual?
- Do I really have to go up by small FSB increments? Or can I jump up assuming I know how many Ghz I'm aiming for?
- Multipliers, I don't anything only except for the fact that my E6750 is 8x333Mhz or something, do I need to worry about them?
- Do I need to touch the voltages? (If I don't have to I don't wish to touch it)
- What software should I get to help me monitor/stress test?
- Does the ram come into play in any of this? If so what to do?
Should I even bother considering I know shit all?
Don't do it when you don't know what you are doing.
Multiplier x FSB = clock speed
and you usually don't need to up the voltages on small overclocks, but they help stability. Higher voltage also means hotter cpu
Aren't there tutorials on this kind of stuff?
Either way, he's gonna have to learn it one way or another.
Changing your FSB to 500 or even 600 would be a good start, then check the temperatures with everest in windows.

Ok, won't bother then

Well you have to do it to learn.

thats why hes learning about what hes doing, give the guy a break jeez
up fsb, is becomes unstable, up voltage when limited by temps, stop
If that mobo is like mine (I have the Gigabyte P35-DS3L) then when you go into bios you should see something called "M.I.T. (MB Intelligent Tweaker)" or something like that go there and where it says CPU Clock Control and set to manual and set CPU Host Frequency to say 375 (will OC to 3GHz).
Now where it says System voltage you can leave this on auto for the time being or manually set the VCORE. A good starting voltage is what ever the voltage is when the CPU is on 100% load so if the voltage is 1.15v then start there, if it is stable (do some CPU intensive stuff) then you can leave it or go back and lower the voltage a little (which will reduce heat)
If you left the system voltage on auto then open up HWMonitor and do some CPU intensive stuff and make the voltage doesn't go too high (I think the max for a E6750 is 1.5 or 1.6 but i'm not sure)
Few more house hold hints.
See what your avg. idle/load temps are before and after you overclock to see how much (or little) impact it had.
Don't let load temp exceed 65C
